2. A drum which-comprises the combination of a metal body, a metal head therefor having a diameter substantially the same in contact withfthe inner face of the body,

the edge of the flange being folded outwardi'ly over the edge of the body and the two a a edges crimped together to form a chime lying beyond the face of the head, this chime as the inner diameter of the body andplaced within the end of t-hebody, a peripheral 26 flange onsthe head having a lportlon lying having an inner diameter less thanthat of 7 the body; and a wooden plate of substantially the same diameter as the head disposed on the latter and held in place by the inner surface of the-chime which enters theedge of the plate,-the' plate having a thickness such that no portion of it projects outwardly-beyond the edge of the chime.
